Free time

Here. Take it. No charge

for that hour or two after supper

tethered to the television

after work, after the dishes,

before bed and the alarm clock

ticking by your head.

Free for all. No accounts

need to be rendered

for this time when we sit

stunned by the news, never

straying too far. Like elephants

trained by tying their forelegs

to a tree. Eventually

intelligent beasts give up

on movements.

Free time. Political

broadcasts about productivity

in countries where they work

harder. And so to bed.

The clock ticking in your head.

Until unfree morning comes,

and tiny mahouts climb aboard

the massive, rolling shoulders.
